I have read that trains from the Wimbledon Loop are going to terminate at Blackfriars station from December 2018. Is that true?
It is anticipated that the new Thameslink trains will be introduced onto all of the FCC Thameslink routes from 2015 alongside the existing rolling stock. However the final Thameslink train service specification has yet to be agreed, and this will be determined as part of the re-franchising process for Thameslink services. The Department for Transport has announced a consultation on a review of franchise policy, and this will inform the Government’s decisions on how rail services are specified in the future, with a view to improving outcomes for passengers and facilitating private sector investment in the railways.
